3. Orthodontic Anomalies of any kind and malocclusions are relative
infrequently analyzed in bio-archaeological investigations
There are at least three reasons for this
4. First:
orthodontic anomalies and
malocclusions are not recognized by
bioarchaeologists, anthropologists,
and related scientists as an important
and useful source of data about the
oral and general health of ancient
populations, as well as an important
source of data about other aspects of
their everyday life

5. Second:
Scientists involved in the examination of skeletal remains derived
from archaeological contexts usually do not have enough
knowledge for the identification (diagnosis) of orthodontic
anomaliesor for the interpretation of malocclusions

Dentists, as experts educated in the diagnosis and
interpretations of orthodontic status are rarely
involved in bio-archaeological investigations.

6. Third: حتى عندما يتم التعرف على أهمية تقويم األسنان، وأنها هي
even when the importance of محور التحقيق، وحتى لو أحد الباحثين هو طبيب أسنان، هناك
orthodontic anomalies is recognised, مشكلة هامة هي: عدم وجود عينات صالحة لالستعمال
and they are a focus of the
investigation, and even if one of the
researchers is a dentist, there is the
final and possibly most important
problem: the lack of usable samples
Papers and reports about
malocclusions and orthodontic
anomalies in skeletal populations
from archaeological contexts are
relatively rare and often based on
small samples
7. Although Malocclusion Now Generally Occurs In Much Of The Population, this was not always the case.
Skeletal remains show that malocclusions were relatively unusual before the 19th and
20th centuries
8. However Malocclusions were not absent

Malocclusions are THIRD in the ranking of priorities among the problems of
Currently
dental public health worldwide, surpassed only by dental cavity and
periodontal diseases
with the reduction of caries in children and adolescents in recent decades,
However,
this condition has received more attention
10. الدراسات االستقصائية
Many organized surveys have been carried out in different parts of the world
with the objective of
Estimating prevalence of malocclusion & orthodontic treatment needs
The ultimate goal being to identify etiologic factors
Prevalence is when
something is widespread
The total number of cases of
a condition in a given
population at a specific time
11. Prevalence of malocclusion
Country % of malocclusion
Chinese children 67.82
Nigeria children 84 % Class I malocclusion
1.7 % Class II malocclusion
Indian Children 19.6 %
American 34 % whites
15 % blacks
is estimated to be HIGHER in
Developed countries > developing & under-developed countries
12. Measurement of malocclusion
Malocclusion & dento-facial deformity are conditions that
تشكل خطرا على المحافظة على صحة الفم واألسنان
- Constitute a hazard to the maintenance of oral health
- Interfere with the well being of the person by adversely
affecting dento-facial aesthetics, mandibular function or speech
13. Measurement of malocclusion
as a public health problem is extremely difficult
since most orthodontic treatment is undertaken for AESTHETIC REASONS
It is very difficult to estimate the extent to which malposed teeth or
dento-facial anomalies constitute a psychological hazard
من الصعب للغاٌة تقدٌر المدى إلى أي حد ٌشكل سو اإلطباق مشكلة نفسٌة
14. Malocclusion has proved to be a difficult entity to define
because
individual perceptions of what constitute a malocclusion problem differ widely
تختلف التصورات الفردية فبما يعتبر مشكلة سو اإلطبلق على نطاق واسع
As a result
No generally accepted
epidemiological index of
malocclusion has yet
been devised
15. Malocclusion is not an acute condition
therefore
Treatment of malocclusion has been associated with a great degree of subjectivity
and distorted perceptions of treatment need

18. WHAT IS MALOCCLUSION?
Malocclusion is not a disease,
but a spectrum representing biological
variability/diversity
When the deviation from the
normal reaches a certain degree of
severity (threshold), then it is
termed malocclusion
What is of relevance is “clinically significant” deviation from normal occlusion

DEFINITION: Abnormal dental development with at least one of the following:
(a) A medical condition and/or a nutritional
deficiency with medical physiological impact,
that is documented in the physician progress
notes that predate the diagnosis and request
for orthodontics.
The condition must be non-responsive to
medical treatment without orthodontic
treatment.
(b) The presence of a speech pathology, that is documented in speech therapy progress notes
that predate the diagnosis and request for orthodontics.
The condition must be non-responsive to speech therapy without orthodontic treatment.

lower incisor teeth contact palatal

37. Evolution
There was a tendency to decreased size and number of teeth
Modern Humans have underdeveloped jaws
Imbalance between the progressive decreased jaw size and tooth
size can lead to teeth crowding or spacing
Less use of masticatory forces with softer food could have lead to
an increase in malocclusion
38. Need for orthodontic treatment
Protruding, IRREGULAR, or MALOCCLUDED TEETH
can cause three types of problems for the patient:
التمٌٌز
1- Discrimination because of facial appearance
2- Problems of Oral functions and TMD
3- Greater susceptibility to trauma,
periodontal disease, or tooth decay
39. • Psychological problems
Malocclusion is likely to be a social handicap

Positive Status to all expectations and therefore
social levels student progress, in

40. • Oral function
Severe malocclusion can
Compromise mastication as in open bite cases
certain sounds might be impossible to be
produced and patients usually need speech
therapy (as in Cleft lip/palate patients)
(Class III, anterior open bite, posterior cross
bite and rotated/tipped teeth) correlate
positively to TMD
So, Malocclusion + TMD may indicate the need for orthodontic treatment
41. Relationship to injury and Dental diseases
Malocclusion contributes to caries and
periodontal disease by increasing the areas of
food stagnation.
Trauma from occlusion due to improper
alignment of teeth can cause periodontal
diseases.
Protruded incisors as in Class II Division 1
malocclusion, can make the patient more prone
to trauma than well-aligned incisors.
42. Epidemiologic estimate of orthodontic treatment need and demand:
: تقدير الحاجة والطلب إلى عالج تقويم األسنان
About 35 % of adolescents are perceived by
parents and peers as needing orthodontic
treatment
Dentists recommend treatment for another 20%
There is more orthodontic need in urban areas
than in rural areas
Demand for orthodontic need is correlated to family income
